Samurai Showdown Thread

For SS info, look up heavenly spirits.

www.vansibel.com/heavenly

Has a lot of special stuff, since there’s more online then offline SS players I think.

I want to see Geese vs some of the top SS players online

If anyone has questions about 4 or just wants to shoot the shit go ahead and post up, I’m not the best but I may be able to help. I like dorkin’ out on that game.

Don’t apologize to me. I want my thread to stay as it is.

I just once again wanna make sure people ARE reading my thread since I made sure to have Saotome Kaneda change the name of my thread for the purpose of making sure random SNK threads dont keep popping up.

But since we see eye to eye now trust me its all good…

I can help out on any of the Sam Shos also…

Got SST tournament vids from EVO East and North SNK 2007 coming and I got Sam Sho 1 vids coming I will let you all know when my encoders post all that up.

Where are these online Sam Sho players from arstal?

-Dark Geese

SS2 is an all time classic. I’m all over Hanzo in that game and Haomaru.

All over- Europe has a few (mostly play on Reps), One’s Pac NW, One’s Western CA, One’s Ohio… Hell, I’ve played a guy from Romania who’s pretty good (Souji)

The Ohio guy is probably the strongest, but he’s taking a break right now.

Just throw a challenge on that site I mentioned and you’ll get a response. You have enough of a rep to get that.

SamSho1 anyone…?

Underrated series deserves its own thread. I was about to make one myself but I was fearful of being stupid and not finding “that elusive thread” through Search. Props to Shade for this.

Any OG SS fans? Like 1 and 2 and some 4? I have a few questions about them, mainly:

Which games are most balanced?

What makes SS2 better than 1? (Not meant to be elitist at all. I seriously don’t know other than easter eggs.)

What makes SS4 broken?

Thanks,
Iapetus

its a bit much to squeeze an entire companies lineup into one thread.

I play Charlotte lets about it. Anyone know whats the most balanced SS?

ss5 special

I remember playing SS2 at the dingy basement in of Newcomb Hall at UVA back in the day. Guess every Virginia college had this classic… ah nostalgia :china:

What? Explain.

No, the reason why I renamed your thread was so that there would be no retarded question threads for the latest SNKP games. The fact that it turned into what it did was because of the small SNKP community here. Individual game/series dicussion threads are allowed (and encouraged) here as long as they don’t degenerate into namecalling spamfests.

Do not over-exaggerate your importance here, because I can find some shit that I’ve let slide in the past that can make this the 2nd board you’ve been banned from.

Oh I aint…I just want to make sure people are checking my thread because Im working hard to use it to help all SNK gamers out and keep all the random question threads from coming up etc.

Matter of fact SK ANYONE THAT THINKS THEY ARE UNBANNABLE IS A FOOL…Fubarduck getting banned proved that!

And yes Sam Sho 1 vids will be coming soon so stay tuned!!!

lapetus:

2 has better depth than one. Of course you’re getting new characters, but this is with the addition to more moves 2 features. It had refining gameplay with better control measures than 1, with the addition of the POW meter being tweaked.

Also it was one of the first games ever to introduce a parry system. This led to many debates on how a character would top on another for like pages and pages worth - It truly is that competitive.

But Ephidel…everyone has their tastes and he just seems to dig SS1 a little bit more.

Well, can’t argue that. I still would play the original myself even today - however, he wanted to know the differences so I explained it to him.

I’m not secretly knocking on SS1, I still enjoy the game again per say…

Pillar Wan-Fu > Sword Wan-Fu >>>>>>> Bonbori Wan-Fu

real talk

I agree Pillar Wanfu was the best…Bonbori Wan-Fu is the worst by far…God he’s trash in SST.

:sweat:

Sucks to hear, as I loved playing Wanfu. What about Caffeine Nicotine? Any good?
